Liu Hong stumbled back to the Yongjing Hou Mansion with a pig-headed look on his face.

Mrs. Hou was having a meal.

The Yongjing Hou’s Mansion has declined, and the mansion has already been in short supply.

But Mrs. Hou always remembered how majestic and luxurious she was back then. After she finally survived her mother-in-law and became the chief mistress of the Hou's mansion, she was even more pompous than her mother-in-law back then.

She didn't think about it either. Old Marquis Yongjing was an important minister of the late emperor, and his wife was even the county magistrate of the county prince family.

The couple, whose husband is capable and whose wife has status, does not rely on the Marquis’ mansion at all, can support a luxurious life by relying solely on themselves.

But she and the current Marquis of Yongjing are one of them, one of them has a downfall, and they don’t know how to manage themselves, and the other is not engaged in production, and they can only take a job and live a life of a false life. The couple can’t do anything, so they can only rely on the Marquis’s mansion to make a living.

After 20 or 30 years of hard work, although it is not as good as selling sacrifices, it has begun to demolish the east wall and repair the west wall.

In the past ten years, Liu Hong has been in power, and the subsidies for Princess Yi'an, a royal noble lady with a tricky mind, has not completely declined.

Faced with the various declines in the Marquis' Mansion, the couple of Yongjing and Hou were not worried and did not find ways to improve, but continued to live a life of drunkenness and despair.

I guess they were spoiled by the eldest princess and felt that with such a rule, the filial daughter-in-law, the Yongjing Hou’s Mansion could prosper for decades.

As for decades later, haha, they had already turned into a pile of bones and were gone, so how could they care about the flood behind them?!

What kind of descendants is far less enjoyable than yourself!

Especially the decline of Mrs. Hou Mei, the decline of her parents' family made her feel a sickly self-esteem, as if only she was more luxurious could she demonstrate her Mrs. Hou's status and make others forget the embarrassment of the Mei family.

Mei's emphasis on pomp is particularly obvious when she eats.

There were dozens of exquisite dishes on the table, a fried vegetable that looked ordinary, and was cooked with dozens of chickens as ingredients.

As for those more expensive ingredients, they are even more common on her dining table.

To be honest, if you are not afraid of going beyond the rules, even if you have a royal family, you are not as refined as Mei's.

The food was served, and Mei was surrounded by a group of people to come to the main seat.

In addition to Liu Hong, Mei also has two sons.

In addition to his relatives' son, Marquis Yongjing also had three or five concubines, who had all sprouted the marquis's mansion.

There are twelve or three concubines in total.

The concubine's daughter has been married casually by Mei, and several older concubine's sons have also married and had children.

Nowadays, there are eight daughters-in-law under the name of Mei.

Putting aside the eldest princess living next door, there were seven people standing beside Mei at this time.

These seven daughters-in-law stood on both sides of the Mei family.

They took the veil and the gargle, the gargle and the gargle and the teacup... Of course, these people who do heavy work are all the concubine's wife.

Mei's two daughters-in-law surrounded Mei, one on the left and the other on the right, one holding the best ivory chopsticks and the other holding the silver spoon in his hand, and orderly replenished vegetables for Mei.

In fact, Mei does not lack maids and mothers at all, but she just enjoys the feeling of being served by her daughter-in-law.

Especially on the 15th day of the month every month, the eldest daughter-in-law, who is a royal princess, will come to serve her with food in a regular manner, which will make her vanity the greatest satisfaction!

"Mother, this is the okra sent from the farm yesterday. It is the first batch, and it is almost the first in the capital."

The second daughter-in-law added a chopstick of okra, gently placed it on the plate in front of Mei, and said softly.

The "zhuangzi" she mentioned was not the farm of the Yongjing Hou Mansion, but the imperial farm where the eldest princess was dowed.

The eldest princess was filial to her parents-in-law, so she asked the people in the village to regularly give the freshest and rarest fruits and vegetables to the Yongjing Hou Mansion.

Mei likes those fruits and vegetables very much. Delicious things are one thing, and the most important thing is to be face-saving.

"My sister-in-law is so filial, she even thinks of her mother with a vegetable."

After hearing this, the wife of a certain concubine's wife quickly laughed and flattered.

The eighth daughter-in-law, the bride married to Mei's favorite young son, has just passed the family for less than two years, but she knows Mei better than this illegitimate sister-in-law.

She scooped a spoonful of ginseng black chicken soup with a silver spoon and carefully delivered it to Mei's mouth. She watched Mei take a sip, and then smiled and said, "Look, my mother can regulate people. My sister-in-law is filial, but her mother is also well regulated."

If this were to other families, the behavior of belittling noble daughter-in-law like this and only to elevate her mother-in-law, she would definitely cause trouble for the family.

But at the Liu family, it is so common.

This young lady who is sweet-mouthed and coaxes people dares to say that even in front of the eldest princess.

In fact, she did say it in a vague way, but the eldest princess was not annoyed, but instead had a proud expression on her face.

That way, even the eighth young lady, I couldn't help but contempt: Bah, it's still the royal princess, I'm so willing to be so mean for a man.

It really lost the royal face.

If she had such a daughter, she would have to be beaten to death so as not to keep her to embarrass her family!

In fact, it is not just the eighth young master's grandmother, but none of the Liu family's daughters-in-law look down on the eldest princess.

Now, after hearing what the eighth young master said, the second young master also agreed, "No, my mother can regulate people. Mother, you must teach us well in the future."

Mei was praised by her two relatives' daughter-in-law, and she was already happy, but she had to hold a reserved smile on her face.

Seeing this, the other concubines' wives hurriedly praised them desperately.

They imitated the appearance of two legitimate wives, and while praising Mei, they did not forget to step on the eldest princess hard.

The smile on Mei's face became brighter.

There were bursts of laughter and noise in the room.

At this moment, Liu Hong came in.

When he entered the door, the maid and the woman who served in the room saw her face, and she blew her breath and screamed in surprise.

"Oh my God, Prince, what's wrong with you?"

"Criminal, your face?"

"Madam, it's not good. The prince was beaten!"

"Which brave dog thief dares to beat the prince of our Yongjing Marquis' Mansion? Princess Yi'an's son-in-law?"

The maid's screams finally attracted the attention of the women in the house.

Mei frowned, but she was conscious of her identity and refused to ask herself.

As Mei's most considerate daughter-in-law, Grandma Ba Shao was naturally the first to speak: "What happened outside? Why are there such no rules?"

Before the little maid outside ran in and reported, Liu Hong rushed in with a flushed face.

His cheeks were bulging high, and there were still blood on the corners of his mouth, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Hong'er, you, what's wrong with you?"

Mei was startled and screamed with a squealing voice.

"Mom, the eldest princess, it's the eldest princess--"

Liu Hong finally saw his mother, and suddenly he rushed to Mei like an aggrieved child, hugged her thighs and started crying...
